Quick context to catch up fast.
The Bourne Council on Aging reviewed a community needs assessment that will survey residents age 60 and older about services, housing, transportation, health, caregiving, and social connection. Plans call for 5,000 mailed surveys, local drop-off options, and telephone surveys, with public outreach beginning in June; the survey should also be available in Spanish and Portuguese. The assessment noted that about 39% of Bourne’s population is currently older adults and that the share is expected to increase.
